Market Returns

Major Index Returns


• The chart below shows the total returns of the major indices (in ZAR, unless specified otherwise) for measurement periods of up to 5 years

ended 30 September 2017:

• The global economic environment experienced some improvement in momentum over the third quarter. Positive revisions to economic and

earnings forecasts drove an improvement in global investor sentiment and were a tailwind for risk assets. Global equities rallied, with emerging

markets (EMs) bolstered by a softer US dollar, improving Chinese economic growth and commodity prices, together with relatively attractive

valuations.

• The MSCI EM composite delivered 8.0% in US dollar terms over the quarter, outpacing the MSCI World Index (reflecting Developed Markets)

which gained 5.0%. Global bonds underperformed equities, with the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate delivering 1.8% in US dollar terms over

the period.

• A favourable EM backdrop was supportive for South African (SA) asset classes in the third quarter, but a worsening economic outlook and

heightened political risk continued to weigh on investors’ risk appetite. Escalating political tensions within the ruling party accompany a fragile

economy, which continues to be plagued by rising unemployment, weak consumer and business confidence and feeble economic growth.

• Local equities defied weak economic fundamentals and staged a sharp recovery in July and August. The FTSE/JSE ALSI delivered a strong

return of 8.9% over the quarter, outperforming local cash, bonds and listed property. The ALBI gained 3.7% over the quarter, boosted by EM

flows and an improving inflation outlook. Nominal bonds outperformed inflation-linked bonds, which gained 1.2%.

• Despite the positive market performance, the rand lost ground over the quarter, derailing a sustained period of appreciation against the US

dollar. The local currency unit ended the quarter 3.1% weaker against the US dollar, and also depreciated by 6.8% against the euro and by 6.4%

against the British pound.

Major Index Returns Continued


• The chart below shows the total returns of the major indices in ZAR for measurement periods of longer than 5 years ended

30 September 2017 – where there is a blank the index return is not available.

• Over the 20 year period, SA equities emerged as the best performing asset class, outperforming cash returns by 4.8% p.a. Real cash returns

over the past 20 years were 3.6% p.a., which is higher than the historic average on account of aggressive monetary policy (extremely high

interest rates) from about 1998 to 2007 to curtail inflation.

• All asset classes have delivered a real return of at least 3.6% p.a. over the past 20 years. It has therefore been easy for South African

investors to earn a high real return over this 20 year period – one could argue that returns have been borrowed from the future and returns

over the next 20 years will almost certainly be lower. SA equities have delivered a real return of over 8.4% p.a. over the past 20 years, above

the 117 year observed history of a real return of 7% p.a.

• Listed property was the best performing asset class over the 15 year period. This asset class has experienced significant tailwinds over this

period and future returns are likely to be closer to the long term expected return from this asset class, being a real return of 5% to

6% p.a.

SA Equity Sector Returns


• The chart below shows the total returns of the major sectors of the All Share Index for measurement periods of up to 10 years ended

30 September 2017:

• Resources emerged as the outperformer over the third quarter, delivering a return of 17.8% over the period. The sector benefited from higher

metal prices, a softer rand and the suspended implementation of the Mining Charter. Coal Mining, General Mining and Industrial Metals were

the main contributors to the performance of Resources over the quarter.

• July’s interest rate cut, together with the prospect for additional monetary policy easing, boosted banks and retailers.

• Real Estate Investment and Services and Non-life Insurance stocks were the main contributors to financial sector performance over the

quarter, while Industrial Transportation, Personal Goods and Media stocks buoyed the performance of Industrials, with Naspers a notable

driver of returns.

SA Bond Sector Returns


• The chart below shows the total returns of the term sectors of the All Bond Index for measurement periods of up to 10 years ended

30 September 2017:

• Lower inflation and an uptick in foreign capital inflows provided a tailwind to nominal bonds at the start of the quarter.

• Over the long term, one would expect longer dated bonds (“12+ year”) to offer a return premium relative to short-dated bonds, as investors

need to be compensated for the uncertainty regarding future inflation (the so-called “term premium”). However, over the past ten years there

has been no term premium earned for investors in SA bonds in the “12+ year” category versus all shorter-dated categories.

• This arises partly from many institutional investors being prepared to pay more for long-dated bonds to match their long-term liabilities. The

high returns from shorter-dated maturities relative to longer-dated maturities is also reflective of a hawkish SARB determined to retain its

inflation-fighting credibility.

Return vs Inflation

Money Market Portfolio Inflation

Money Market Portfolio – rolling performance

22

The chart below shows the real return of the MMP compared to objective of inflation + 1.0% p.a. The MMP has delivered in

excess of the target (inflation +1.0% p.a.) 71% of the time over 12 months demonstrating that in spite of very good manager skill

the achievement of the objective is dependent on short term interest rates relative to inflation which in turn is a function of

Reserve Bank monetary policy.

Risk Constraint:

• Based on the history of the portfolio the probability of nominal return being less than 0% p.a. (i.e. capital loss) over any period

of 1 month or more is 0.
